In the moment before impact
Numb to the immediate and yet you feel
The incredible joy of falling
Helplessly still in the beautiful
The moment where you forget to breathe and need to all at once
When you know you should be afraid
When stopping is rational
But the tides carry all too much
Sweeping you to wishes
Away on the heavenly dew that you worship
Every intoxicating bead is a monument
That reveals the delicacy of balance
Defining the meaning of a heart’s desperate flutter
Each blink, reliving a captured moment
Showing you pleasures
Of a bird’s gentle wing beat
Trapped in the confines of an embrace
The essence of a loved one’s living
In the tracing of the smile on their lips
Granting instant solace to the restless
A breath that claims life or a sigh that takes you
Giving meaning to all that which meant nothing
When you discover everything
The moment when you know what it is to live
